"Whatever speed the car was going I'm sure it was pretty fast on the turnpike and to bounce off the windshield and not be broken is amazing," rehabilitation specialist Diana Flynt said.

Flynt said the center is hoping the eagle will be healthier than when he arrived.

"We have a low blood level in his system which we're going to clear up. He's got some internal parasites. We're going to put him cleaner and happier and healthier and fatter than he was before he got hit by a car," Flynt said.

As for the officer helping to save the bird, Flynt is glad he did.

"Anybody that stops and cares for any kind of wildlife is a hero in my eyes," she continued.
